Fresh week, fresh list. How about that? With no current weight. I tried to make it as current as possible. Sorry if i missed anyone.

Ok folks I'm doing this:2009 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Richmond Va May 3rd, 2009. I heard about it on the boards here last year and could hardly wait for the next one near me. I live in New York so I will be traveling south to attend. Anyone else going to give it a try???

I know someone who drinks it with meals to make her feel full faster. (the gas and all) Just a thought. Small correction: Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated Water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottle Tonic water (or Indian tonic water) is a carbonated soft drink flavoured with quinine, which gives it a distinctively bitter taste.

Sorry I guess I copied for the wrong one.

Do you have any tips?

No body answered the Body Bugg question. Are you still using it? Why did you stop? It sounds interesting but I guess not realistic to use all the time.

WHy doesn't Fenton fill in his weights? Wasn't it his idea to make this list?

I've been indulging in treats of the sweets & booze variety. Plus I've not worked with my trainer for 2 weeks. I had a stupidly huge meal the day after Christmas. The only saving grace was that it was pretty much the only thing I eat that day. Im actually a bit depressed how easily I have slipped back to my former self. It has been almost a year of changing food habits and trying to create exercise habits and nothing stuck. It is so not true about doing something for a certain amount of time (3 weeks, 3 months ???) and it becomes a (new) habit. I am very fearful that this will be like other attempts. It is only a matter of time before the weight comes back, plus more. Maybe I should have had my damn stomach stapled. PS I have also developed a F*%&ing hemorrhoid!!! WONDERFUL

Yep Im done whining. I'm just a lazy person at heart and really need to be motivated. It is no wonder my good habits are having a hard time sticking. I haven't let go of the bad ones yet. But I'm working on it, again. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Ok after my major whine-fest I'm back on track. Back to the trainer twice a week. I have an exercise focus again. Which seems to be the only way to keep my mind interested in moving the bod. I've entered the 2009 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Richmond VA. with my husband. He's not all that happy but he wants me to succeed so he's supporting me in my whim. I'm trying to keep food choices good and think I'm succeeding about half the time. Better than nothing. I have an appointment for a fill on Monday because I've been stupidly hungry most of the time. Best of all I'm back in the game. :confused: Yay me!

How are you guys doing with the BodyBugg? Was it worth it? How about you Wii fit'rs??

Of course you will, and because you worked so hard it will be all the sweeter when you reach and possibly surpass your goal.

I think this is the reaction we are all yearning for. Congratulations on your hard work!!!

Im looking forward to another meet/greet too. Weekends or weekdays all are good with a little notice. Is anyone interested in going to the Drs support group on the 20th?

I think with your history of not getting calories in you need to take it easy and let the inflammation go down. That being said you still need to get in your calories/protein. Having a Protein shake in the AM and PM is important if you're not getting what you need from solids. I can only speak from my own history. I never really wanted to go below 1000 calories (on average) per day. Problems started showing up; hair falling out, nails growing in weak, sleeping badly, no energy for exercise. Like a starvation mode. Cravings really hit hard. Not worth it in the long run. I don't want to live like that. Gotta find a healthy balance. It is frustrating finding what works for you, but well worth it.

Why did you choose this one? Did you get a chance to ride it before? Just wondering, as I am also looking to get a new one.

I went to the gym this morning.

HI Lena My sister has a "thing" with needles too. Her veins literally collapse when a needle is stuck in her skin. She had her four kids by home birth because she didn't want to have the ordeal of the I V. The Gas idea is a good one. It worked for my sister when she had to have her wisdom teeth extracted (had to have an I V then). Best of luck on your journey, Amanda
